This picture is of an amazingly glorious tree in Dunedin that I just couldn’t stop looking at!! It reminded me of one of the attitudes of mindfulness, that is to notice things, as if you are seeing them for the very first time.

Not only do we often take our surroundings for granted. The same counts for our ability to see and notice all the beauty around us!

So this week, as you go about your days, take a few moments to look at everything around you, as if you are seeing it all, for the first time.

You might discover things that you have never noticed before!

One of my students for exampe, was amazed by how many shades of green she could notice, when she was on the bus, taking in the views mindfully!
